Enjoy a discussion on the history of Sydney’s inner suburbs. Hear about the development, people and architecture of Darlington, Paddington and the Hungry Mile with Joan Lawrence (The Sydney good walks guide); marvel at the background to the railways, wool stores and wharves of the Pyrmont peninsula with Hilary Golder (Pyrmont and Ultimo: Under siege); and enjoy a different perspective on Glebe, once a country retreat for affluent city families, with Max Solling (Grandeur and grit: A history of Glebe).
